Wraith
01.12.2022Can’t stress enough BELIEVE IN YOUR PARRIES, it’s by far the best way to build up the stun meter, I’d also recommend using the guardian shield as you get a better lock on with parrying projectiles
Also the “wrath” rage is the best option (with maxed out rage from blood horns) as it basically gives you 4 combo breakers & guaranteed hits

01.12.2022If you play souls game , they're nothing .. Shield Breaker Crucible challenge much harder than them

Iván Rodriguez
30.11.2022To interrupt the blue circle, the onlsaught shield is op. You are gonna run automatically to the berseker that’s if you feel that you are not gonna make it on time

30.11.2022The Bifrost one was annoying
Tyler Travis
30.11.2022There shouldn’t be a tutorial on this everyone should find out on their own just like a souls game get gud
ClutchedSanity
30.11.2022Alot of them just feel like end game bosses so make sure you max out your weapon and armour upgrades at least. No point in doing a boss if your damage output is low.

30.11.2022how did you find the info of what different colour health bar means ?
Rishi Das
30.11.2022Best tip – Don't fight them…Leave them alone
Jordan Bridgland
30.11.2022It’s also worth mentioning that when you get King Hrolf’s health low enough he switches to covering himself with the bifrost status element for the remainder duration of the fight until he’s defeated.

30.11.2022The only ones that were a problem were the ones that featured 2 or more berserker. Only Sigrun was more frustrating than those.

All Day Err Day
28.11.2022Use the onslaught shield for these fights as Kratos will automatically run towards the enemy during the double blue ring attacks. He will even sometimes avoid the damage from those moves if you are close enough to them after they have completed the move and you're still charging at them.
Edit: For the poison berserker, use the spear on the nightmares. Detonating a lodged spear instantly removed them from the battlefield, making this fight significantly easier. Using the blades isn't as reliable as you can and most likely will take damage as you try to pull them in.
